requires NAD(P)H and O2 for activity, the reaction mechanism is likely to be 2-hydroxylation of the flavanone molecule to yield 2-hydroxyliquiritigenin and the subsequent hemiacetal opening to give licodione, introduces one atom of oxygen into the substrate, NADH serves as hydride donor less effectively than NADPH
